No, not every matroid satisfies this property. For example, it is known to fail for the cycle matroid of $K_4$. The matroids that satisfies your property are called base orderable matroids. Base orderability is a minor-closed property, and Ingleton proved that there are actually an infinite number of excluded minors. See these slides of Joseph Bonin for more information.
