if you are using PHP, I would recommend using PHP Mail service.

Code:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
$config['protocol'] = 'mail';
?>

If for some reason you still want to use SMTP. You need to setup SMTP on you Server and have correct authentication information about it or in case it accepts anonymous then you can use anonymous username with your email as the password but the SMTP will have to be setup the way you want to use it.

Let me know if it makes sense else I will try to get you some example but I am not sure since the SMTP email sending can be a server issue as well.
