please help me.

I don't know how you're meant to do it in CI, but you need to tell it to use STARTTLS encryption before it will allow you to authenticate. — Synchro
if you google the error you get heaps of answers: google.pt/… — Vickel

change

$config = Array(
  'protocol' => 'smtp',
  'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', # Change this
  'smtp_crypto' => 'tls', # Add this
  'smtp_port' => 587,
  'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
  'smtp_pass' => 'mypass',
  'newlin'    => "\r\n"
);

And you're not using PHPMailer. Seems you're using email class of CI

If PHPMailer

require_once(APPPATH."third_party/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
$mail->Password = "aaa";
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
