Motivated by the recent observation of the time-reversal symmetry broken state in K-doped BaFe2As2 systems, we theoretically study the collective modes and the short time dynamics of this state using density-matrix theory on an effective four-band model with two hole and two electron pockets. Hole doping moves the electron bands away from the Fermi surface and leads to frustration between superconducting channels. This results either into s+is or s+id superconductivity, which are both time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) states. Consequently, the Higgs and Leggett modes are coupled and the superconducting ground state accommodates a variety of collective modes. In extremely overdoped systems with incipient electron bands, we find the Higgs mode at ω = 2Δh with an absent Leggett mode similar to a two band model. At dopings before the TRSB occurs and within the TRSB state, we uncover a new coupled collective mode both in the amplitude and in the relative phase of the superconducting gaps. This mode becomes gapless at the boundaries of the TRSB state.
