Try the below code.

$email_config = Array(
             'protocol'  => 'smtp',
             'smtp_host' => 'bh-24.webhostbox.net',
             'smtp_port' => '465',
             'smtp_user' => 'feedback@domain.com',
             'smtp_pass' => '12feedback34',
             'mailtype'  => 'html',
             'starttls'  => true,
             'newline'   => "\r\n"
             );
                $this->load->library('email', $email_config);
                $this->email->from($to, 'FEEDBACK');
                $this->email->to('feedback@domain.com');
                $this->email->subject($sub);
                $this->email->message($msg);
                $this->email->send();

I have found the article which demonstrate how to send emails in a CodeIgniter application using SMTP. https://www.cloudways.com/blog/send-email-codeigniter-smtp/ — Owais Alam, Aug 23 '17 at 13:13
