There are actually counterexamples in real dimension $4$.

The first examples of compact almost-complex complex $4$-manifolds not admitting anyno complex structure were produced by Van de Ven in his paper "On the Chern numbers of some complex and almost-complex manifolds".

In fact, he obtained restrictions on the Chern numbers of an algebraic surface and constructed some almost-complex complex $4$-manifolds violating them, hence showing that no almost complex structure in these examples could be integrable.

Later on, Brotherton constructed some counterexamples which are also parallelizablewith trivial tangent bundle, see the article this paper"Some parallelizable 4-manifolds not admitting a complex structure".
