Is there a way to force a line break inside a math mode text?
My example:
\[
\underbrace{....}_\text{Some long text that should be multiline}
\]
Trying
\text{Some long text that\\ should be multiline}
Didn't do the trick.

The math environment is for inline math, I would not use it for multiline math. Also, I would not force multiline text into a math environment. I would leave the math environment, print the text, start a math environment again. A math environment is not the best place for long text.
Your example can be fixed using \parbox, such as
\begin{math}
2+1=3\\
2+2=4\\
\parbox{\textwidth}{This is some very ... very long text in math environment.}
\end{math}
This way there would be line breaks with full justification.
But I would either end math mode or use a displayed math environment. You are already using amsmath. In this case I recommend to
use an
alignenvironment or alike,use
\intertextto temporarily escape the math environment for long text,use
\textjust for short text within math.
You have known Morten Høgholm's mathtools, then you can try his breqn package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{breqn}
\begin{document}
\hsize=12cm
\begin{dmath}
f(x) = x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x = x*c
\end{dmath}
\hsize=6cm
\begin{dmath}
f(x) = x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x = x*c
\end{dmath}
\hsize=3cm
\begin{dmath}
f(x) = x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x = x*c
\end{dmath}
\end{document}

You can use the
\substackcommand, from theamsmathpackage, just like\text.The output:
