To be strict, OP asked to send all coins, which @mschuett didn't answer.
The key thing to do this is the last optional bool argument of the sendtoaddress RPC command called subtractfeefromamount. The way to use it is:
bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeoutInSeconds>
bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> `bitcoin-cli getbalance` "" "" true

This command:
sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> <amount>
will do the trick.
