You need to initialise the the config, see the codeigniter documentation for the email class.

Here is my example which works well...

    function send_email($attributes) {

        $this->load->library('email');

        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

        $config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
        $config['smtp_host'] = 'host';
        $config['smtp_port'] = '465';
        $config['smtp_user'] = 'user@smtp.com';
        $config['smtp_from_name'] = 'FROM NAME';
        $config['smtp_pass'] = 'XXX';
        $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
        $config['newline'] = "\r\n";
        $config['mailtype'] = 'html';                       

        $this->email->initialize($config);

        $this->email->from($config['smtp_user'], $config['smtp_from_name']);
        $this->email->to($attributes['to']);
        $this->email->cc($attributes['cc']);
        $this->email->bcc($attributes['cc']);
        $this->email->subject($attributes['subject']);

        $this->email->message($attributes['message']);

        if($this->email->send()) {
            return true;        
        } else {
            return false;
        }       

}
