It appears the node is not fully synced the entire blockchain. If your node is not fully synced, then it hasn't parsed the latest blocks to see what a reasonable tx fee would be for the current market. If it's not fully synced, then it might try to estimate based on old transactions, which you don't want, since they could be much lower (and your tx will never confirm), or much higher (and you overpay in fees).

I assume it is syncing, is the number increasing when you check $ bitcoin-cli getblockcount? It takes a while to download and verify all of the blocks, sometimes days or weeks depending on your machine specs. – JBaczuk – 2018-10-01T21:04:36.673

1Is the node fully synced? – JBaczuk – 2018-10-01T13:32:51.567
what do you mean saying fully synced? maybe no – Yur Gasparyan – 2018-10-01T14:18:13.070
Has it downloaded and verified all of the blocks? You can check with
$ bitcoin-cli getblockcount– JBaczuk – 2018-10-01T15:09:33.163I got response - 1315692 – Yur Gasparyan – 2018-10-01T19:52:17.243
looks like you're on testnet, there are 1414793 blocks so almost synced... https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/
