You can use rpm --nodeps to install it, but then dnf will probably
complain at you forever about it.
Another option is to use "rpmrebuild -ep yourpackage.rpm". (dnf install
rpmrebuild) This will give you an editor (probably vi) to edit a
recreated spec file. If you remove the problematic Depends lines and
save it, it will build you a new rpm file without the dependencies that
dnf should let you install. Don't remove all the Depends, just the
texlive ones.

Another solution is to download the rpm and install as instructed
http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html
http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/texmaker_fedora23-4.5-xm1.i386.rpm
http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/texmaker_fedora23-4.5-xm1.x86_64.rpm
And it says in the texmaker page that:
\begin{quote}
- These packages don't depend of the texlive packages of the corresponding
distributions.
\end{quote}
