I also checked the output of the minimization:

I assume the structure is not relaxed enough to start a simulation. How can I get it minimize further? I increased the step size up to 0.1 ps, i still get the same result.

The minimization is probably OK, but a period of equilibration at a short time step will probably help smooth the process out. Simulations in implicit solvent have few explicit degrees of freedom compared to explicit solvent, and might be rather more susceptible to equilibration issues if the generated velocities are randomly not-quite-good-enough.
