Generate n random Unix timestamps and convert them to strings formatted as UTC DATE_FORMAT. Plot a histogram of the distribution of the generated timestamps. If an output path is provided, save the histogram to the specified path. Otherwise, display the plot.
The function should output with:
    list: The list of n formatted timestamps.
You should write self-contained code starting with:
