You are mixing your tenses.
Better is
She will be tired because she will have worked all day long.
or
She was tired because she worked all day long. or: because she had worked all day long.

There are a number of "correct" ways to express this cause-effect relationship (in addition to some mentioned above):
"Having worked all day, she will surely be tired tonight." (very formal)
"She's working all day, so I expect she'll be tired by tonight."
"She's going to be tired from her long day at work today."
"She's had a long day, so she's going to be wiped out." (most casual)
Of course there are many more combinations, involving other structures and vocabulary. I just wanted to add some variety and texture.

that sounds like she will be tired (e.g.tomorrow) because she worked all day long (in past). by the way... all day long-gives a serious idea about Continuous, and if her condition comes directly from her work, why she will be tired in the future because of her past work?
E.g. she works at a factory. every evening she comes home tired and nervous...
just example as a result of everyday's hard work
but in your case it depends on the context

I would say "She will be tired because she will have worked all day long" but I am not a native speaker.
