I am trying this

await payload.forgotPassword({
  collection: "users",
  data: {
    email,
  },
});

but this gives me following error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'config')
    at forgotPassword (/Users/user/directory/node_modules/payload/src/auth/operations/forgotPassword.ts:51:9)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

reseting the password via the /admin/forgot works without a problem though. So it cannot be my email setup I guess.

Anyone an idea?

Then it's a probably a bug, I got stuck at the same thing here and used the REST API as a workaround:
