What error message do you see?

If you send all available coins on a recent version it should do just that: 
Empty your wallet. If it doesn't, that's a bug.

It just says "problem sending coins" 

I have 0.00866btc in my wallet and try to send 0.0086btc

Ok agreed, there is a "blind spot" if you don't the whole wallet, but you try 
to send enough that there's not enough left for the fee. The underlying problem 
is in bitcoinj, it does not provide error reasons yet.

As a workaround, try sending your whole wallet. There is a "empty wallet" 
action for that.

From v3.31 on, you'll get a descriptive error message if you're out of funds.
