Morphology
The meaning 'advantageous to all parties' is directly and transparently derived from 'mutually' (shared by two or more) modifying 'beneficial' (producing benefits). This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should understand the phrase.
Etymology
The adjective mutually beneficial comes from a simple image: two people or groups giving each other something useful. Mutually means 'each side' and beneficial means 'helpful', so it describes an agreement that helps everyone involved.
